Re: can pthread and pth coexist

Include the pthread.h file before any other system files and that should fix the problem. OK, I just did that and it didn't work. But, I fixed it after that. Here's the story: - I'm running Pth 1.4.1 on Mandrake 9.0 - The libpth14-devel package _doesn't_ include libpthread stuff - I rebuilt libpth14-devel adding libpthread to it - The Pth makefile doesn't install the .a nor .so.* files -- Mandrake caught this and fixed it in the RPM for the libpth stuff - I copied the .a .so.* files to their required location after doing the make install - After all of the above mondo contained its own shutdown() function which conflicted with a system shutdown() function -- this didn't conflict until I installed Pth's pthread API stuff. - I renamed mondo's shutdown() to mondo_shutdown() and the conflict went away - Mondo built just fine after that Then I ran mondo and the non-working results looked _exactly_ like the non-working results I got when using pthreads from glibc 2.2.5.

No mutex stuff exists in mondo. The whole of the pthread code in mondo is very small, maybe 1-2 dozen pthread calls.
